Venture investor Chris Sacca certainly isn’t the first to call for the GOP to purge the “extremists” from the party. Plenty would like to see the Republicans act more like Democrats to increase their appeal to, well, Democrats, and there are a lot of Republicans who are all too happy to comply.

So, what’s in it for a liberal like Sacca? In short, “an informed, thoughtful, honorable opposition” that he’d most likely never vote for in a million years, but at least he’d respect it more. How about the Democrats showing their extremists the door too? Oh wait, there aren’t any.
